Ji Shi
Chapter 9 Causes of Death
"Come in." As soon as Zhong Shihuang came over, the warm atmosphere of Huyou Yanggong was broken.
Zhou Fuhu said: "I'm teaching him the common sense of being a bodyguard."
Zhong Shihuang smirked: "You also think he is so stupid that he has no common sense."
"That's not what I meant." Zhou Fuhu wanted to explain, but the object of the explanation had already been taken away by Zhong Shihuang.
Zhong Shihuang looked sideways at Wen Gu's thick bangs, and felt that it was not pleasing to the eye, "Who is pretending to be simple and honest?"
Wen Gu was used to his rhythm of looking for trouble when nothing happened, so he simply responded to all changes without change, turned his head, and smiled innocently.
Zhong Shihuang: "..."
Wen Gu followed Zhong Shihuang into the inner hall.
Zhong Dunshan was lying on a white jade-faced red sandalwood couch carved with dragon patterns. He had a square face, a pair of big ears, gray temples, and piercing eyes.
Wen Gu has never met Zhong Guoqiang and Liu Xiaoling, just looking at their temperament, they are very similar to their grandparents.
Liu Hansi meekly sat on the footstool beside the couch, his face turned slightly pale, and he smiled only when Zhong Shihuang came in.
Zhong Dunshan narrowed his eyes and looked at Wen Gu: "How old are you?"
Wen Gu replied: "The imaginary age is 21."
"Who else is at home?"
These are all old questions, so Wen Gu answered them one by one according to the original version.
Zhong Dunshan asked coldly: "Why did you come to Zhong's house?"
Wen Gu was stunned for a moment before saying, "I'm applying for Zhenping Security Company."
Zhong Dunshan nodded and stopped asking.
Seeing that he was tired, Zhong Shihuang got up and said goodbye.
Zhong Dunshan said: "I live alone in such a big house, and I'm very lonely. You don't often come to accompany me. It's rare for Xiao Liu to come to China, so let him stay with me for a few days."
Liu Hansi's eyes flickered, and he looked at Zhong Shihuang half pleading and half anxious.
Zhong Shihuang turned his head to look at Zhong Dunshan, and called softly, "Grandpa."
Zhong Dunshan looked at Liu Hansi peacefully: "Xiao Liu is not willing?"
"No." Liu Hansi forced a smile, "It's too late for me to be happy to be with Grandpa Zhong."
And so it was settled.
Liu Hansi sent Zhong Shihuang out dejectedly, drooping his head.
Zhong Shihuang couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't like to accompany my grandpa?"
Liu Hansi said helplessly, "I don't like anything Grandpa Zhong likes."
"Early to bed and early to rise is good for your health." Zhong Shihuang knew that Liu Hansi had a rich night life.
Liu Hansi paused, leaned towards Zhong Shihuang, and said softly, "I want to be with you." He raised his head, just as Zhong Shihuang lowered his head, his eyes intertwined, and even the wind became sticky.
Wen Gu took two steps back consciously, leaning on the railing and looking down at the fish in the pond.
"Still leaving?" Zhong Shihuang's voice was cold and tense.
When Wen Gu turned his head, he had already walked five or six steps away, but Liu Hansi stayed where he was, looking ashamed.Although I don't know what happened to the two of them, but there was not much movement just now, and it didn't take too long. I guess it wasn't a complicated plot, but at most it was a disagreement between the two of them.
Wen Gu nodded to Liu Hansi, and hurried to catch up.
Zhong Shihuang spontaneously sat in the passenger seat.
Wen Gu knocked on the car window.
Zhong Shihuang squinted at him, and after a while, he got out of the car with a low curse, and walked around to the driver's seat.
Wen Gu got into the car, looked at his gloomy profile, and asked tentatively, "Do you have something on your mind?"
Zhong Shihuang glanced at him coldly.
Wen Gu: "..." He was very worried that before he could save Zhong Shihuang, he... cremated him first.
Zhong Shihuang drove the car into the parking lot of an apartment building, and was about to turn off the engine and get out of the car when Wen Gu grabbed his arm.
"Aren't you going back?"
Zhong Shihuang looked at him: "Where are you going?"
Wen Gu originally wanted to talk about the villa, but soon remembered that "Zhao Shuqing" didn't know Zhong Shihuang's address, so he changed the words to: "The company."
Zhong Shihuang flicked his hand that was holding his arm: "Remember, I am the one who pays you, not you who pay mine. It is I who take care of you, not you who take care of me."
"My luggage is still in the company." Wen Gu was afraid that his large and small bags would be rejected, so he left them at the front desk.
Zhong Shihuang got out of the car and saw Wen Gu follow up unwillingly with a suitcase in his hands. He sneered and said, "What luggage can you have?"
"A change of clothes."
Zhong Shihuang opened his hands exaggeratedly: "Should your clothes be changed? You should reborn and change the dynasty."
"but……"
"What?" Zhong Shihuang impatiently took out the sleeves of another uniform from the box, "You are not a three-headed and six-armed Nezha, two sets of clothes are not enough?"
Wen Gu was pissed off, and said without hesitation, "Where's the underwear?"
"..."
Wen Gu discovered that Zhong Shihuang had a special interest in the top floor, and even lived in an apartment on the top floor.The apartment is a duplex structure, facing the door is a large French window with a height of six meters, and there are two spiral staircases, one left and one right.
"You live downstairs." Zhong Shihuang opened the guest room opposite the kitchen.Except for the walls, lamps, and quilts, which are white, everything else is black, and the quilts show signs of being touched. "Fuhu used to live here. The clean bedding is in the closet, and I make it myself." After he finished speaking, he turned and walked upstairs. Wen Gu put down the suitcase and followed him step by step.
On the second floor, Zhong Shihuang turned around abruptly.
Wen Gu looked at him innocently.
"The second floor is my space, no one is allowed to enter without permission."
Wen Gu said: "I have the responsibility to ensure the safety of your surroundings."
Zhong Shihuang sneered: "You think someone broke into my house but I didn't know?"
Wen Gu scanned it with his divine sense, nodded and said, "Since you insist, forget it." After finishing speaking, he turned and went downstairs.
"You..." Zhong Shihuang, who made up his mind to reverse the opponent's stubborn temper in one eloquent speech, suddenly couldn't swallow his breath while looking at his handsome back.Didn't you mean to ensure the safety of his surroundings?It's too irresponsible to say it casually!
"Get out here."
Looking back at the past and looking at the sky: "..." Will you be moody if you are too sad?
Although Wen Gu was allowed to go upstairs, he was restricted to the bedroom door.
"Wow", something was thrown out.
Wen Gu caught it, it was a pack of new underwear.
"Wow", another thing was thrown out.
A pack of new socks.
"Wow", a sweater.
"Wow", a pair of jeans.
"Wow", a book.
"Wow", another book.
……
When Zhong Shihuang stopped, there was already a hill around Wen Gu.
Zhong Shihuang took off his coat, turned to look at Wen Gu who was still standing by the door, and said, "What are you still doing here? Classify and deal with it."
Taking advantage of his turning around, Wen Gu threw things into the Qiankun bag in twos and twos, and went downstairs with the book.
Zhong Shihuang took off his watch, turned around inadvertently, and the door had been cleaned up.
Wen Gu dug things out of the Qiankun bag, put the books and clothes on the coffee table in the living room separately, and put the underwear and socks on top of the clothes after hesitation.Zhong Shihuang didn't expressly say that he would give these two things to him, so he couldn't take them by himself.
Zhong Shihuang went downstairs after taking a shower, changed his clothes, and saw Wen Gu sitting on the sofa, staring at a stack of clothes and books in a daze.
"...Are you using them to sacrifice?" Zhong Shihuang was speechless.
"what?"
Zhong Shihuang said: "Put the books on the small bookshelf over there, sort the clothes into the washing machine, and order two pizzas."
Wen Gu hesitated, and asked, "Do you have Zhou Fuhu's phone number?"
Zhong Shihuang looked at him suspiciously, but still told him the phone number, then casually walked to the kitchen to drink water, opened the door openly and eavesdropped.
Wen Gu called Zhou Fuhu, and after a simple greeting, he asked, "What do you call two pizzas?"
Zhong Shihuang almost choked to death with a sip of water, and soon he was almost pissed off by Wen Gu.
Compared with Zhou Fuhu who is far away in the ancestral house, isn't it more convenient to ask him who is close at hand?
After Zhou Fuhu finished answering a question, Wen Gu asked again: "How do you sort clothes into the washing machine?"
Zhong Shihuang: "..." Didn't it mean that the children in the countryside are already in charge of their families?Why did he think he was a monk early?It's simply out of this world.
The phone in his pocket buzzed, and he put down his glass to answer it.
On the other end is Geng Songping: "I have already found out what you asked me to investigate. The driver who caused the accident had a 16-year-old illegitimate son who was adopted by an old couple in Yingcheng. The child's grades are average, and the old couple's family background is also average. There is only a retirement salary of four or five thousand, but the child recently found an agency to apply for studying abroad. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on them."
Zhong Shihuang said in a deep voice, "Which country did he apply for?"
"Country B."
Zhong Shihuang rubbed his brows: "No matter what method we use, we must pry that driver's mouth open."
"I know. By the way," Geng Songping said, "When I saw Mr. Lao Zhong yesterday, he asked me to check someone."
"Who?"
"Liang Bingchi from Yueliang. I checked. The business he cooperated with Mr. Da Zhong went bankrupt in the early years, and his wife who relied on money to drag her sick died not long after. There was a child in her belly when she died. He hired killers twice When dealing with Mr. Da Zhong, Mr. Da Zhong avoided them all. The killer turned his back on the last time and limped one of his legs."
"Did Grandpa say why he was the only one being investigated?"
Geng Songping said: "Yes. Mr. Lao Zhong said that other people's suspicions have been ruled out one by one. Now there are two biggest possibilities, one is him, and the other Mr. Lao Zhong did not say. Except for Mr. Da Zhong and Aunt Liu, You may also be his target, so be careful."
"Then let him come here!" He hung up the phone angrily, threw it on the ground, suddenly couldn't lift his shoulders, he leaned against the cabinet weakly, his strength seemed to be pulled out of his body, and he burrowed through the cracks in the floor tiles. Into the ground, disappear without a trace, people become motionless and do not want to move.
"What kind of pizza do you want?" Wen Gu ran over.
Zhong Shihuang looked up at him.
Wen Gu's heart trembled.
Those eyes were dark, as if they couldn't see the light, filled with the most extreme and violent side of human nature.
Zhong Shihuang suddenly smiled: "What flavor do you want?"
Wen Gu blinked, looked at Zhong Shihuang who had "returned to normal", and mechanically replied, "I will eat whatever you eat."
"What if I eat human flesh?"
"...I'll help you watch out."
Zhou Fuhu said: "I'm teaching him the common sense of being a bodyguard."
Zhong Shihuang smirked: "You also think he is so stupid that he has no common sense."
"That's not what I meant." Zhou Fuhu wanted to explain, but the object of the explanation had already been taken away by Zhong Shihuang.
